Crossroads

A short poem on finding strength when you come to the crossroads of awakening. You can choose to either dwell in the misery of not knowing or embark on the unknown journey of self-discovery. Written from my heart.

Hello,

My name is Clover Norton and I'm a mindfulness and meditation teacher.

And I wrote this poem Crossroads quite a few years back when I was going through some struggles and it helped me find strength and clarity.

Hopefully it can give you some inspiration as well.

Crossroads.

In the beginning,

What could I see?

I saw the light drift away with light.

Was that the feeling of inner peace first given to us but seems to cease?

If I were to look inside myself and see the sweet tunes of my melody,

I'd look for answers of my soul to understand this flight for whole.

The arrows are pointing to a place of light to fulfill my emptiness of what's right.

This pain is an illusion but felt so deep.

Where is the remedy of being able to sleep?

I'm trying but I haven't tried enough.

Who holds the key to building me up?

The key is hidden deep down inside.

If I reach to find it,

I will be on my ride.

A ride to freedom,

To the unknown.

I stand up and I am ready to go.
